OK, you want a top of the line bicycle and it costs $7000, but is the content really there?
How about a $7000 motorcycle compared to a $7000 diamond? After all, it's just a small polished rock.
BTW, a "top of the line" bike is way more than $7000.. try twice as much.
Don't try to explain it to most people, they just won't get it. Even to most cyclist, they don't understand spending that much money... and that's OK. That's why when asked how much my bike cost, I give a number I think the person would expect.
